How to check what layout is being loaded?

[nickhempsey]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to conditionally load a script based on the layout of the page. Is there a function I can use to check which layout is active?

Thanks!
Nick

You could create a custom layout. http://wpsites.net/web-design/flexible-custom-layouts-for-studiopress-themes/

Thanks Brad,

I'm not looking to create a custom layout, although I will go that route if all else fails.

I just need to know whether or not the current layout is using the primary sidebar or not.

I did some digging in genesis/lib/structure/layout.php and found the function genesis_site_layout(); It returns the active layout of the page. So I can do this:

$site_layout = genesis_site_layout();

//* Load custom code when content-sidebar is active
if('content-sidebar' == $site_layout ){
   //* Do something
}

The method @nickhempsey suggests does work but in my case, once I run the genesis_site_layout() function in my functions.php the post gets the default layout instead of the custom assigned layout.

I was trying to run a piece of code depending on the layout currently used:

$site_layout = genesis_site_layout();

if ( $site_layout == 'sidebar-content-sidebar' ) {
  add_action( 'genesis_before_entry', 'mw_add_attachments' );
} else {
  add_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'mw_add_attachments' );
}

function mw_add_attachments(){
  $attachments = new Attachments( 'attachments' ); /* pass the instance name */
  if ($attachments->exist()) {
    ?>
      <ul class="files">
        <?php while( $attachments->get() ) : ?>
          <li>
            <div class="files-thumbnail">
              <?php echo $attachments->image( 'thumbnail' ); ?>
            </div>
            <div class="files-details">
              <a href="<?php echo $attachments->url(); ?>" target="_blank" class="files-title">
                <?php echo $attachments->field( 'title' ); ?>
              </a>
              <div class="files-meta"><?php echo $attachments->subtype(); ?> - <?php echo $attachments->filesize(); ?></div>
              <div class="files-caption">
                <?php echo $attachments->field( 'caption' ); ?>
              </div>
            </div>
          </li>

        <?php endwhile; ?>
      </ul>
    <?php
  }
}

@imartins , that code shouldn't set the layout, only return the active layout.

I'm wondering .. are you wrapping this code into a function or just firing it directly in functions.php?

If you have that code directly in functions.php I would suggest making a function that places it in genesis_meta instead.

add_action('genesis_meta', 'mw_conditional_attachments');
function mw_conditional_attachments() {
   $site_layout = genesis_site_layout();
   if ( $site_layout == 'sidebar-content-sidebar' ) {
     add_action( 'genesis_before_entry', 'mw_add_attachments' );
   } else {
     add_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'mw_add_attachments' );
   }
}
function mw_add_attachments(){
  $attachments = new Attachments( 'attachments' ); /* pass the instance name */
  if ($attachments->exist()) {
    ?>
      <ul class="files">
        <?php while( $attachments->get() ) : ?>
          <li>
            <div class="files-thumbnail">
              <?php echo $attachments->image( 'thumbnail' ); ?>
            </div>
            <div class="files-details">
              <a href="<?php echo $attachments->url(); ?>" target="_blank" class="files-title">
                <?php echo $attachments->field( 'title' ); ?>
              </a>
              <div class="files-meta"><?php echo $attachments->subtype(); ?> - <?php echo $attachments->filesize(); ?></div>
              <div class="files-caption">
                <?php echo $attachments->field( 'caption' ); ?>
              </div>
            </div>
          </li>

        <?php endwhile; ?>
      </ul>
    <?php
  }
}

let me know if that helps at all.
